Q

A

Orthopoxvirus (Family-Poxviridae)

Q

What is prior vaccine evidence like?

A

-study in the 1980s in the democratic republic of congo called zaire
-virus jumps from animal to people
-secondary attack rates - smallpox vaccine was 86% effectuve

21
Q

What were the limitation of the vaccine protection?

A

small number of cases, the virus genetically different than the one now spreading, different vaccine

22
Q

What was the vaccine efficacy for MPOx?

A

incidence among unvaccinated persons was 7.4 and 9.6 times along persons who received dose 2>14 days earlier

23
Q

What is the difference between the interadermal and subcutaneous dosing?

A

No difference

24
Q

What is the CDC interim clinical guidance for the treatment of monkeypox?

A
  • severe disease (hemorrhagic disease, confluent lesions, sepsis, encephalitis, conditions requiring hospitalization
  • aberrant infections
  • high risk of severe disease
  • immunocompromised
    -pediatric
  • atopic dermatitis
25
Q

TPOXX

A

inhibitor of Vp37 envelope wrapping protein

26
Q

Why is a study necessary?

A

we don’t know if Tpoxx is effective against Mpox
-current practice based on studies of smallpox
-optimal dosing - especially in children
-resistance

27
Q

What is preventing stigma like?

A

promote messaging that provides information on what monkeypox is and how it can spread and encourages seeking health care if experiencing monkeypox-like symptoms

28
Q

What are the MPX case rates among Black people vs. white?

A

cases are five times of those over white people

29
Q

WHen was the Chicago Outbreak of MPOX?

A

March 18-June 12, 2023 40 laboratory-confirmed mpox were identified?

30
Q

What are the successes of MPOX vaccine?

A

testing capability expanded rapidly allowing for surveillance, rapid diagnosis/isolation/treatment
-pre-exisiting Mpox vaccine mobilized and prioritized for communities
- intradermal dosing allowed for greater supply

31
Q

What were the lessons learned?

A

importance of nimble, tailored response to provide testing, prevention, treatment to communitieis at risk
- stigmatization may change behavior to an extent

32
Q

Reemergent zoonosis with atypical _______

A

clinical presentation and epidemiology

33
Q

What type of contact is mPOX from?

transmission largely close contact

34
Q

What vaccine is safe and prioritized for affected populations?

A

Jynneos

35
Q

What are viruses blind to?

A

gender identity, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity but stigmatization and fear can perpetuate disparities, limit access to testing and care, and can promote further transmission

in the future underscoring the importance of strong public leadership, infrastucture, and preparedness
